This is by far the best Davinci Resolve course I have seen. With limited knowledge I was able to follow and the techniques shown are very useful to me as I have started to do more and more finishing in Resolve. Thank you Lee!

There are a lot of YouTube tutorials out there how does this compare to them?

Lee Lanier has written many of the best selling visual effects books you can find on Amazon, and he is a teacher at the Gnomon VFX school in Hollywood. The quality of the courses on this site is hard to beat, and the instructors are professional presenters.
